ing from our isolation. It must be remem-
bered that the Danish Amter are not oceanic
islands, but districts contiguous to each other
and only separated by boundary lines. Hence
a sudden call in one, say an outbreak of cho-
lera, can be met from the others or even
from the capital itself. The same argument
applies to many other institutions. Our
Government, for example, is much more
elaborated than for a district ofeven greater size
in Denmark. Our military force again, COM
pared in the same way, is out of all
proportion: indeed there are doubtless
many Amter which have no military force.
The same reasoning probably applies even to
the Police, for small as our Police force
is, it would presumably be found much
larger than would be required for q dis.
trict Of the same size in Denmark. Our
isolated position, in fact, deprives US of
many of the advantages arising out of the
greater cooperation which is possible in larg-
or communities, and the real question is this:
Are we we'll enough off to make up in some
measure for that isolation, or must we on &C
count Of our poverty put up with its results?

born only 1908 boys were born, whereas the
relations in this respect in different places in
the world vary; 100 girls to 103-1O5-107
boys. The male children, as shown, did ex-
coed the female children in 1886,-but I am
under the impression, that it is generally be-
lieved, that in this island more girls are born
than boys, which is not likely to be the case.
OF the IT'S children, 727 were born at full
term, 48 before term 712 were born alive,
63 either born dead, or apparently dead
without being resuscitated or died within "a
hours after birth. 767 children were brought
forth naturally, only 8 times, equal to less
than 1oIo-artifcial aid was called for. This
proves the great ease with which children
here are born. Out of 761 mothers only 6
died from the consequences OF the births, that
is only l for each 1876 births, less than 1910,
which is a very favourable result.
The number of women giving birth varied

Some statistics published to-day by the
Kings Physician will, we have no doubt, be zap
preciated by many Of our readers. Such records
have a scientific value, as afording in time
accurate data on which to base comparisons
with other places, whether existing under
similar conditions with ourselves, like the
other West Indian islands, or existing under
entirely different conditions, like the north
ern countries of Europe, They also have O
local value, as q step towards that accurate
knowledge of the facts which must precede
any rational attempt to remedy existing evils.
The Kings Aysfcian's Office cannot, however,
furnish all that is required, and we hope that
there will be no hesitation IN passing the two
drafts of ordinance which were brought be-
fora the Colonial Council last year for secur-
inc renorts Of births and deaths. When these
ordinances have been in operation for a few
Years, the information obtainable from the
Police Offices. taken withthat recorded blythe

material, cannot be made.

The low number in the 9th district is ac-
counted for by long standing sickness of the

to account for the low number in 3rd district.
Some of the births may have been attended

births here have taken place without the at

part this, that the births are quick and easy,
and partly this, that the common population
frequently put off sending for the midwife to

lance, in others to the belief thereby to be
able to avoid payment.

common population to pay the midwlves
causes much trouble. This part Of the popu-
